Re: Ship Manifestos
(Anonymous) 2015-11-25 01:47 am (UTC)(link)Two kings with things in common. Both are loving fathers (Thranduil in the book, Bard in the movie), both became king after suffering a great tragedy (Oropher's death, Laketown's destruction), in the movie, they're both widowers (but the fandom around these two are generally really great about not fridging the women and/or respecting the love they had for their first wives).
In the movie, they're played by two hot guys but I like their personalities better in the books. Thranduil is the only true elven king left in the third age and he has no powerful ring to help him fight back the evil in his realm but he still keeps it at bay. Bard is a simple guardsman who is of noble lineage. He fights to the last arrow and slays a dragon. He's grim of mood and a natural leader but he does what's best for his people. Initially, all his actions are done in the Master's name, so he's politically minded. Also, he can understand birds so there's a hint of magic to him.
In the book, once Thranduil learns that Thorin's company lives, he only stays to back up Bard. Bard refuses to send Thranduil away when Thorin demands it, and calls him his friend. Bard listens to Thranduil's advice when Thranduil says they shouldn't press for war. Bard gifts Thranduil with an amazing emerald necklace.
Their relationship is one of friendship and respect. They have a lot in common but they're also two different races, so there's stuff they each can bring to the relationship that's unique and interesting to explore. They are genuinely good people doing their best for their people.
